“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.”

Henry David Thoreau

This quote is sending a message that says you need to be proud of your goals, and if you are proud then that means you would want to complete them. Live your life the way you want to. People can get in the way, but in reality no one can pretty much stop you. no one will get in the way. You shouldn't let them. 

Student Success Statement

“Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence.

Talent: will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Genius: will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education: will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.

Persistence and Determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

This quote is trying a message that says nobody will be successful just because you have talent. Talent is not going to take you anywhere in live. Being a genius is not going to help you as much, because you can be super smart but you also need to have common since. Education will help you because that is why when you are a miner children go to learn how it is to get a job so you can be prepared, but it doesn't help you as much as persistence and education. Persistence helps you because you don’t stop, you prove everyone that told you that you couldn't do it in life wrong. Determination also helps you because it allows you to do what you have to do in order to get what you want. It lets you complete your goals. And that’s the best feeling. To know that you are worthy enough to complete your own goals.

“set your goals high, and don’t stop till you get there.”

Bo Jackson

This quote is trying to tell me not to give up on my dreams. My dreams are to precise to give up on them. Your goals aren't goals until you reach the finish line. It doesn't matter how fast you complete the goal, it matters what the reward is. Taking your time shows that you actually want this for yourself. You want it to be perfect. You want your goal to be presentable. Showing people that you did this with maybe no one’s help, or maybe with peoples help.  

Student Success Statement

“you can’t put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.”

Michael Phelps

This quote is trying to tell me that you can’t limit yourself because then you would never know how much you could have done. It’s like when someone is saying that you will never know until you try. When you limit yourself you won’t know because it’s like saying that you didn't try. When you don’t limit yourself then at least you won’t having regret of you thinking you could have done more then what you did.
